Creased Pet Photos

Creased pet photos usually come out of a print folded into a wallet, a letter or a pocket, then flattened again decades later. On a pet photo the creasing shows as a white line where the emulsion broke along the fold, very often straight through a face, right across a dog, cat or horse, sometimes with a child holding the lead.

Upload a scan or a phone photo of the creased pet photo and the AI-powered repair comes back in seconds with the markings, the collar and the coat texture left as they were. Where the creasing covered a face in pet photos, check the result against family memory before you print it.

If the creasing on the pet photo is worse than it looks, run Scratch & Tear Repair twice rather than reaching for a heavier setting. Then upscale the creased pet photos for a reprint, since the output keeps the shape of the upload.

What matters for these photos

  • Creasing from a print folded into a wallet, a letter or a pocket, then flattened again decades later, on pet photos from the 1940s to 1990s
  • Small faces of a dog, cat or horse, sometimes with a child holding the lead that the creasing has taken the detail from
  • Creased pet photos that a copy shop refused to touch
  • A creased pet photo needed for a memorial, an anniversary or a reprint
